i have two types of copy chat codes. this one i like more. so i would like to try to keep it for cata. mainly to have the open copy chat. when you right click on the chat tab. a great thing.

i guess i should say how the error happens. all is fine. even when that copy chat box is open. its when i click in the chat box. or try to copy. the chat.

help would be very very greatfull. or if i can have help on shorting this down

thanks again for your time.

edit.
after going though things. i think its to do with

if CHAT_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT and not text:find("^|r") then
text = BetterDate(CHAT_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT, _G.time())..text

of what is not in that part of the code i posted. but its in the script. it adds a timestamp to things that dont always have a timestamp. as when i remove it., it seems to be ok. and also if i dont remove this. and just remove

from the copy code. it is fine also. the background isnt there but is fine. very stange.

I'm not sure if you changed those backdrop textures or not but I set them to the default UI's so I wouldn't have to download wChat. Also, without sounding to much like an ass I hope, is your primary language something other than english?

Well i was born in England, and as we moved around Europe. when i was young. so my language got a bit messed up. also im not so good at spelling being dyslectic. and never went to school. well not long. as we never was in one place to long. due to my fathers job. im sorry. now im in the 30s. im learning. or trying.

if CHAT_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT and not text:find("^|r") then
text = BetterDate(CHAT_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT, time())..text
end

so maybe i need to take that out for now. and look into a new method of displaying a timestamp for things the chat misses
